public InetAddress getAddress()
InetAddress
for this address.
InetAddress
for this address.public InetAddress getBroadcast()
InetAddress
for the brodcast address
for this InterfaceAddress.
Only IPv4 networks have broadcast address therefore, in the case
of an IPv6 network, null
will be returned.
InetAddress
representing the broadcast
address or null
if there is no broadcast address.public short getNetworkPrefixLength()
Typical IPv6 values would be 128 (::1/128) or 10 (fe80::203:baff:fe27:1243/10)
short
representing the prefix length for the
subnet of that address.public boolean equals(Object obj)
true
if and only if the argument is
not null
and it represents the same interface address as
this object.
Two instances of InterfaceAddress
represent the same
address if the InetAddress, the prefix length and the broadcast are
the same for both.
equals
in class Object
obj
- the object to compare against.
true
if the objects are the same;
false
otherwise.hashCode()
public int hashCode()
hashCode
in class Object
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,
Hashtable
public String toString()
String
. The
string returned is of the form: InetAddress / prefix length [ broadcast address ].
toString
in class Object
